Splatcraft

Version 3.1.0

New Features:

• Added Spawn Pads: A new piece of stage-building equipment that allows players to set their spawn on top of it by swimming on it. Spawn Pads come with a protective shield around them that knocks back any entities not matching its color, as well as fizzling out any Ink Projectiles or Sub Weapons that come in contact with it.
• Curling Bombs! A brand new sub weapon that slides forward for a short period of time before detonating, inking the ground below it on it's way. Their distance can be shortened and explosion radius increased by "cooking" the bomb before throwing it, you can do so by holding your sub key (or right-click if you're already holding the item), notice the LEDs at the top, their color indicates for how long the bomb's been cooked for!
• Added /stage: this versatile new command will have gamemode developers all around the block in awe! It allows you to define and manage any region you turn into a Stage (by using /stage add) in a variety of ways:
  • /stage settings allows you to locally change a small selection of gamerules within the stage's boundaries, such as preventing ink from decaying, making water hurt you, and allowing players to use weapons without an ink tank, among many others!
  • /stage teams lets you tag colored blocks in the area with a specific team, allowing you to then use /replacecolor without worrying about two colors overlapping and screwing over your stage
  • /stage warp teleports all targeted players into an available Spawn Pad inside the stage itself! the Spawn Pad needs to first match the player's color in order to teleport them to it. You can even take it a step further and tell the command to set the players' spawn point to their assigned pads!
• Added 2 new game rules: inkableGround and rechargeableInkTank: disabling them lets you prevent players from creating inked blocks and recharging their ink respectively
• Chargers now play a "ding" sound upon landing a direct hit
• Updated credits in the in-game mod list
• Added Italian and Simplified Chinese translation
• Updated Spanish translation
